Thierry Henry has claimed that Paul Scholes is the greatest player the Premier League has ever seen, but that he doesn’t get the plaudits he deserves.

I would have to go Paul Scholes. I don’t think people have given him the credit he deserves. (He’s) one of the best, if not the best, I’ve played against, he could do anything. Unfortunately for him, when he was playing for the national team, for England, sometimes people didn’t see it like that. If I had a Paul Scholes in my team, everything would be around him. At Manchester United, they saw it like that, but I think Paul Scholes is one of the best I’ve played against in this league, and seen anywhere.
